  • MUELLER: Look forward with hope

    It is my deepest feeling that the major problem of people is that they do not have a high enough opinion of themselves.
    They feel guilt and shame, unworthiness and inadequacy.

  • GINGER: Daughter is college bound

    Today I took my oldest daughter to Freshman Orientation. It was an exciting day, and I really enjoyed the two hour drive with her.

    Is He a part or is He not? Was He ever a part of U.S. history, or was He never mentioned?

  • GINGER: Thank God I didn’t know

    As the sun creeps up over the horizon, I watch the two youngest of my five children, sleeping peacefully after a difficult night of illness and unrest. I am exhausted, but it is necessary to get on with my day.

    Third, Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

    There’s a joke about a couple who’ve been married over 50 years, and one night in bed the wife looks over at her husband and starts to complain.
    She says, “You know, when we were first married, you’d reach over and hold my hand. It’s been years since you’ve reached over to hold my hand at night.”
